Congratulations to our outstanding Tigers! Three Galion High School students were selected to participate in the District 2 Honors Festival for Choir and Band. Gabrielle, Logan, and Cameron traveled to Port Clinton in February to participate in the two-day event. Both Gabrielle and Logan were selected as soloists in the 100-voice choir. They are both active Galion High School Symphonic and Show Choir members.
Cameron, our third outstanding Tiger, was selected to play with the Honors Band and earned first chair. In addition, she was the only student in District 2, comprised of eight counties, to make the Ohio Music Education Association All State Band.
To all three students: Your commitment to excellence in music showcases your incredible skills and brings pride to our school and community. We look forward to your continuing to inspire others with your passion and artistry—these achievements are well deserved! Go Tigers!
Best of luck to our state-bound wrestlers! Grady, Carter, and Ryder made the traditional walk through the halls of Galion High School in true Tiger style this morning! Students and staff cheered them on with a clap-out as the band played in celebration. In keeping with tradition, these athletes were also treated to a police and fire escort off campus to send them on their way. We are so proud of these young men and their successful season thus far.
Stay tuned to the Tiger Athletic Facebook page for updates as they take on the state’s best. Go get ’em, Tigers!

The Galion Intermediate School needs your help in participating in a fun community service project. Students are bringing in unopened boxes of cereal to donate to our local food pantry, Ohio Heartland Community Action. As a fun bonus, we will set up the boxes like dominoes through the halls of the building as a school-wide Cereal Box Domino Challenge before donating them. The student who brings in the most boxes in each grade level will be the one to start the chain reaction.
How You Can Help:
Donate unopened cereal boxes – Any brand or size is welcome! We are asking all students to donate at least ONE box. You can either send it in with your student or drop it off in the Intermediate office any day between now and Thursday, March 13th.
Galion Primary School is now registering students for Kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year.. Call the school office at 419-468-4010 to schedule screening appointments. Children must be 5 years old by August 1, 2025, to be eligible for enrollment.
This week, we celebrate and share our appreciation for our school social worker, Kirstie Naumoff. Ms. Naumoff has been a great resource for our elementary school students and their families. She continues to demonstrate kindness and compassion with a smile every day. We are grateful for all she does at Galion City Schools.
Reminder that this Friday, March 7, ends the third grading period, and it will be a 2-hour early dismissal. Let’s finish strong, Tigers!
The Tiger trait for March is Balanced. Our hope and goal for balance Tigers is that they make a conscious effort to prioritize and create equilibrium in personal, academic, and emotional demands. These efforts guide them to make healthy choices when dividing their time between academic responsibilities, friends, and family.
Maintaining balance through their ability to organize and self-regulate in daily life develops skills to confront feelings of overwhelmedness and stress as adults.
Our team of bus drivers thank you for doing your part in keeping us all safe while we transport our students to and from school. Complying with the RED STOP sign during loading and unloading, giving us room to make wide turns, and watching your speed around bus stops are all ways you can help us be safe. We appreciate your willingness to follow these guidelines.
As we wind down our Love the Bus Month of February, here are some kind words from some of our littlest Tigers! https://bit.ly/buslove25
The ACT Test is on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, for all Galion Juniors who have not opted out. Students should arrive at the high school at 7:25. Bring a student ID or driver's license. Students are responsible for their own transportation if they choose to leave after the test. Students who have opted out are expected to follow their regular schedule for the day.
Galion City Schools are now closed for today, Thursday, February 20. Be safe out there, Tigers!
Galion City Schools is on a two hour delay. Be safe, Tigers!
Our winter wellness fair is underway. Come join us at the Middle School until 6:00. We have great swag for you!
The Galion City School District will host parent/teacher conferences in each building on Wednesday, Feb. 19th. Don't forget to stop in the Middle School to check out the Winter Wellness Resource Fair from 4:00-6:00. There will be fun, food, information, and prizes! We can't wait to see you there!
As a friendly reminder please, regardless of HCTB, have your student at their designated place of safety 5 minutes prior to your scheduled time. As many may know, buses require a great deal of maintenance and it might not be your actual bus that picks up or drops off being displayed on the app. With that in mind, having your student ready will only allow us to pick up or drop off in a timely manner.
The Galion City School District has announced open positions for the 2025-26 school year. See all job postings at galionschools.org/employment and learn more about us at https://bit.ly/gcsspotlight. Apply now and join our fantastic team!
